Hi Matthias,
The magic spell is:
$ dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver
/org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Lock
I have exactly the same problem with my case for Aquaris E5, and I am
about to write a small daemon that locks the screen upon an event from
proximity sensor. I will let you know once it is done & tested, if you
are interested.
Regards,
Orson
